Key Takeaways:

AOPA is replacing its annual Aviation Summit with six regional, one-day Fly-Ins held at various locations across the U.S. throughout the year.
These regional events, along with a reinstated "AOPA Homecoming" at headquarters on October 4 (AOPA's 75th anniversary), will offer exhibits, safety clinics, static displays, and a town hall with President Mark Baker.
The future reinstatement of the annual Summit is contingent on the attendance success of these new regional events.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has announced the dates and locations for the regional AOPA Fly-Ins that will replace the organization’s annual AOPA Aviation Summit convention. This year, the one-day events will be held on Saturdays at each of the following locations:

April 26 – San Marcos Municipal Airport, Texas (HYI)
May 31 – Indianapolis Regional Airport, Indiana (MQJ)
July 12 – Plymouth Airport, Massachusetts (PYM)
August 16 – Spokane Felts Field, Washington (SFF)
September 20 – Chino Airport, California (CNO)
November 8 – Malcolm McKinnon Airport, Georgia (SSI)

At a town hall meeting at AOPA’s Airportfest, the outdoor aircraft display that ran concurrently with the AOPA Aviation Summit in Fort Worth, Texas, in October, AOPA executives said the Summit will be reinstated unless thousands of members attend the regional events.
